In Episode 2 of Two Generations One Mic, we dive into the Australian education system and ask the big question: is the HSC still worth stressing over? And is going to University a waste of time?

From a Gen Z perspective and a Gen X perspective, we unpack the reality of school, university, and the pressure to follow the “traditional path.” We talk about how the HSC isn’t the only way, why uni can sometimes feel like a waste of time, and how today there are more pathways than ever—from trades to VET sector, business, online courses, and real-world experience.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or unsure about your future because you’re not doing what everyone expects… this episode is for you.
